Hardy Pilot deadrise angle?

[Portofino]

Ask Portofino.

He will tell you that it is wrong and that only Itamas have got it right.

What I can show him is how it’s done a 23 degree deadrise .
Put it in the centre of the V as far Fwds as practical.

Itama cut a flat pad in the Vee a notch .So it’s irrelevant what the angle is .


They cut away some of the sold hull from the inside to flatten out a pad .^
It’s in front of the bilge switch btw ^ .



Just make out a notch in I i front of the strap .^



Again in front of the strap .

Hope you all getting sufficient ITAMA hull shot pic “ fix “ ……it’s only the 8 th of Jan folks Gonna be a long year

Good point vas, does any one here know if the Hardy pilot 20 range have cored fiberglass hulls?

I'd be astonished if it was a cored hull.

Not the way Hardy did things - more likely a lump of fairly thick solid GRP!

You can try the Hardy Owner's Club, they are a helpful bunch, though they can take a while to answer.

From looking at the Family Pilot 20 as a prospective purchase, the deadrise is quite shallow at about 10° estimated. It has been about a year since I looked at one out the water.

They are cored and double skinned, except for the portion under the outboard well
